Rambutan

Rambutan is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, known for its hairy red or yellow skin. The name "rambutan" comes from the Malay word for "hair," referencing its unique appearance. Inside, the fruit has a translucent, juicy flesh that is sweet and slightly acidic, somewhat similar to lychee or longan.

Rambutan is typically eaten fresh, either by itself or added to fruit salads and desserts. To eat a rambutan, you peel off the skin to reveal the flesh, which can then be eaten directly. The fruit contains a seed in the center, which is usually discarded.

Besides its delicious taste, rambutan is also rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a nutritious addition to any diet. It is often enjoyed for its refreshing flavor and health benefits.
